Hello Heiko, I'm interested in what you used to "gauge" your ratings. I haven't received my Fritz 6 yet but I have been playing with my "New" Rebel 10c. Since Ed let the auto232 go I have started using it for testing until the Rebel Century arrives. It is surprising to me that at the moment Rebel 10c is at the top of my Blitz rating list after 93 games. It's sad to note that tonight the first inkling of problems with the auto232 (Actually auto232 has a lot of problems) showed up. Rebel was playing Hiarcs 7.32 and played a stupid move that even I would not play. Of course with auto232 off and I hid the "Learn" file also Rebel would not even consider the blunder. I don't think I will let this bother me though. I think I will let Fritz or Hiarcs analyze all of Rebels losses and when I find a non repeatable blunder I will discard the game. By the way do you use the auto232 at all? The manual is in German and I can't figure out if some of the problems are caused by incorrect settings or what. Jim Walker
